It doesn't really matter where I go (Heaven or Hell). I'll have plenty of friends in both places.

I've always been part of comedy. One of the things about our family was that if we were reasonably funny with each other, particularly my two brothers and myself, when my father was upset with something you'd want to make sure in some way you made him laugh. Because when he didn't laugh, you were in trouble!

When you see Charlie Chaplin, he stays funny. He doesn't become drama, and so what really seems to endure is comedy.

Yes, it's true, I've been called the Laurence Olivier of spoofs. I guess that would make Laurence Olivier the Leslie Nielsen of Shakespeare.

Like a blind man at an orgy, I was going to have to feel my way through.

Like a midget at a urinal I was going to have to stay on my toes.

The violence or the vaudeville style of comedy is a technique all by itself. You get up there, and you are a comedian, and you're doing one thing. That is, you're going to make the audience laugh.
